This page will give more data on the article than I was capable of printing in the magazine, mostly because of space limitatons.  Each issue will also have a text file called "oopsies" that list the inevitable gremlins that sneak in to the process and gum up some very necessary bit of information that was either inadvertently deleted or was just plain wrong.   A file with oopsies is indicated ** thus.

You will need some programs to use the files on these data pages.  Mostly, they are freebies or demo programs that allow you to read the file in it's original format.   What I've found is that trying to put technical files into some format other than the format I originally used is guaranteed to cob up the works.  Click here to go to the locations for downloading programs you will need to use this website.

(Note -- because of the large graphic content of most articles, they can be slow to load.  Approximate load  time at 28.8 speed is given for each page.)
